Will piefed.ca follow suit?
Let’s go!
Defederate from 1 user? 🤣
It’s always good to self contain problems before they get worse.
Yep, and let’s not forget that MAGA started as a fringe movement… it’s like some people still refuse to fucking learn.
Lets not forget how networks underestimated Trump and led to him getting a lot of coverage, and it resulted in him gaining in popularity to get elected his first term to spread the infection.
That’s the mistake the left keeps making. They think logic can win out against effective faith based movements founded upon hate with a belief a higher power is on their side. And they waste time debating against something that appeals to the averge person who is desperate and angry. Which is why facism is trending.
I wouldn’t call him a faith-based movement so much as a populist movement. He just happened to have some talking points that overlapped with the faith-based movements, and he leaned into those to gain his market share. That isn’t what I would call a defense of faith-based movements, either, more a reference of causation vs. correlation.
He throws out how something is the best or the worst and makes up false facts and figures and his followers takes him at his word. Same applies to many of his inner circle like RBK with what is supposed to be science.
What else is it at that point other than faith? Its not grounded in facts but belief. Bringing evidence is dismissed as fake news because the movement doesn’t care about that. It has the usual hallmarks of religion in my eyes.
Okay, that’s fair.
If lemmy doesn’t want to do it then everyone should stand together and block them. We can force defederation.
The networks knew what they were doing and did it for reason$. Anyway, if maggoty is correct it’s um, it’s probably a fed.
lol 1 user! Yes, by all means, block and defederate.
To be fair, there’s @fuckamerica@maga.place that’s been a real trooper on that instance and posting anti-fascist stuff all over the place. The whole instance has been flooded by them lol!
Maybe that’s what we should do, just turn it into an anti-Maga instance by flooding it with anti-fascist posts and comments.
Excise a stage 1 cancer?
If Nazi.whatever pops up Id want to defederate from that too if they had 1 member
… it has 1 user total with 2 posts. Can we stop with looking for outrage or smthing? Are you a troll OP? Because the MagaPlace looks like a troll.
Yes. Build a wall.
And make MAGA pay for it!
proceeds to send them the invoice
Good luck with that - Trump never pays his bills, & I expect no different from MAGAts.
aye
Let them incriminate themselves first
Yes please defed
The paradox of tolerance is a philosophical concept suggesting that if a society extends tolerance to those who are intolerant, it risks enabling the eventual dominance of intolerance; thereby undermining the very principle of tolerance.
- Wikipedia
How do you determine the threshold for when it can no longer be tolerated? How do you put this into use without being the very thing you are trying to eliminate?
Maybe it’s difficult to establish a precise threshold, but Nazis in general and MAGA in particular are way beyond any reasonable one.
How do you identify Nazis or MAGA, and what level of violence is appropriate to stop them?
I’ve just found one: you
If so, what level of violence are you threatening me with?
Just blocking you, piece of Nazi shit.
Great conversation, have a nice day.
Probably when they weaponize tolerance of their intolerance to further their intolerance and cause objective harm.
Popper says it’s when they resort to “fist or pistol” to advance their agenda. That’s how you know, when they actually resort to violence.
By then it’s too late and that’s just a revolution.
Well what it means is that if you resort to fist or pistol first, then you are the bad guy, and should not be tolerated.
Its pretty easy to spot
The Moment someone tells me what to do, without telling me in what way my actions are actually hurting someone else, I tell them to fuck off
Flush the turd (imo)
B-B-BuT tHe ToLeRaNt LeFt!!!
It’s not now or never, but why wait?
They have mistaken the left’s tolerance for weakness. Now they will find out that we can fight, too.
Yes
Yes, please.
Looks like it.
At this time, I vote no as it’s better for users to block the instance.
